Moussem Cities Istanbul

With Moussem Cities, Moussem and its partners in Brussels turn their gaze to a metropolis with a rich and culturally diverse history, in which artistic vitality plays a central role. After previous editions dedicated to Casablanca, Beirut and Tehran, among others, Istanbul will take centre stage in 2025. This city, radiant with unmistakable grandeur, serves as a source of inspiration from its origins as Constantinople to today's crossroads of continents.  

For one month, the multidisciplinary festival Moussem Cities offers a multifaceted programme of exhibitions, participatory projects, performances, literature, film screenings, concerts and talks. These events celebrate Istanbul's vibrant artistic scene and highlight its deep connections with creativity around the world.
